Malabrigo Silky Merino Yarn - 405 Sand Reviews

This single ply silk and merino blend is absolutely stunning. A subtle sheen gives depth to the gorgeous kettle-dyed colorways making Silky Merino the perfect choice for high fashion projects and dressy accessories.

PLEASE NOTE: This yarn is dyed in dye lots of ten skeins only. We are happy to visually match hanks for consistency should you need more than 10 skeins for a project, but we are unable to get more than 10 skeins per dye lot.

This is my third project with this wool, but first with a solid color, Purple.
There were white/light flecks where the color was not fully absorbed into the yarn. It was not an attractive blemish as I was looking for a deep, rich hue throughout the piece. Draping and feel still lovely though.

I used Azules. The color is variegated and beautiful. True to photo.
The feel and drape is amazing. I'm a new knitter, so I didn't know this feel of yarn existed.
My quibble is that I've hardly used this throw and it looks like pills are starting. This is after approximately 10 hours of use. I'm concerned how it will look after some real use.
Other posters, please describe the colors and whether the photo is reflective of the actual color.

I was disappointed at first, as the color I saw online was purples, blues and greens and what I received was purples, blues and pinks ew. I persevered nonetheless and was surprised that a yarn renowned for its softness did not seem very soft at all. I couldn't imagine who would want to wear the stiff little shawl I finished a week later, so I waited a few days to block it. When I finally blocked it I was AMAZED to find it is baby-soft and has glorious drape! I will buy this yarn again and again!

So far, every type of Malabrigo yarn I have used has never disappointed me. They really have a quality product and the yarn is not only beautiful, it is a joy to knit with and have it in your hands. I purchased this same yarn in a different color before and came back to this brand and type because it was so beautiful in my finished product a cowl. It's very soft and feels wonderful on your neck and hands, and has wonderful stitch definition.

I use this yarn on the reg, but about 10% of these hanks hide a dirty secret: the knot at the beginning of the skein is sometimes actually holding together two separate lengths of yarn instead of one continuous yardage. I purchased the last one from my LYS, and another in a recent purchase from JBW and both were like this. A good excuse to buy extra, though, right?
